The first multistage rocket was invented by German scientist Hermann Oberth in the early 1920s. He proposed the concept as a way to achieve greater altitude and speed in rocketry by using multiple rockets that ignite sequentially.
A single-stage rocket has all its propulsion and structure contained in a single unit, while a multistage rocket consists of two or more stages stacked on top of each other. In a multistage rocket, each stage is jettisoned when its fuel is exhausted, shedding weight and making the spacecraft lighter, enabling it to achieve higher speeds. This design allows multistage rockets to carry heavier payloads and go farther into space than single-stage rockets.
Multistage rockets were first successfully used in the early 20th century, with notable advancements occurring during the 1940s and 1950s. The V-2 rocket, developed by Germany during World War II, is often cited as the first practical multistage rocket. The concept was further refined with the development of rockets like the Redstone and Saturn I during the U.S. space program. The use of multistage rockets became a standard practice for launching payloads into space, particularly with the Apollo missions in the 1960s.
The payload (the important stuff) in a multistage rocket is carried in the last stage. The earlier stages are there only for the purpose of boosting the last stage on its way. When each earlier stage is out of fuel, it separates and falls back to Earth.
The stages of a multistage rocket include the booster stage, which provides initial thrust to lift off the rocket; the sustainer stage, which continues the acceleration once the booster is jettisoned; and the final stage, which carries the payload into its intended orbit or trajectory. Each stage is designed to be jettisoned when its fuel is depleted to reduce weight and increase efficiency.
a multistage rocket is a rocket. a rocket could be a multistage rocket. all multi-stage rockets are rockets, but not all rockets are multi-stage. For example the space misstions. They are all multi staged, but each stage is a rocket on its own.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that everyone who has travelled into space has been lifted there by a multistage rocket.

that the total weight of the rocket is greatly reduced as the rocket rises
A multistage rocket usually has 3 stages or sections.
it is dropped off the rocket and either burns in the atmosphere or lands in the ocean
A single stage rocket consists of only a single set of rocket engines and fuel containers. This assembly is used for the entire journey. A multistage rocket consists of several sets of engines and fuel containers that are used in succession. When the fuel of one stage is spent it detaches from the rocket to get rid of the weight and the next set of engines is ignited. Multistage rockets are far more efficient at getting things into space.

a disadvantige is that a rocket gets disposed of after each flight
